Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning(ML) are one of those buzzwords that became really popular in recent years. How much hype vs. substance is behind them? Are they practical? How can you use them to solve your specific GIS problems? Those were just a few questions that had in mind and wanted to answer. Fortunately, I …

I wanted to interview Silas for quite some time because his Python books are well know in GIS community. My main goal with this interview was to dig deep into Silas’s experience and mine his insights mainly about learning programming. But, we’ve had such a good time that we went way beyond that! There are …

In this video I will share with you the two methods to take your programming skills to the next level and actually learn how to build something. We will also talk about why a lot of beginners get stuck at this point and what you can actually do about it. h

You’re with me so far? I hope so! Let’s talk about functions. So, what’s a function in programming? It’s just a piece of code that does a specific task and return a specific value. Easy, right? Let me give you an example. Let’s use a standard Javascript function called round that will round it’s argument …

In the last post I’ve told you everything you need to know about values and variables. And I hope you’ve enjoyed it! Those two concepts are really a fundamental parts of programming. Now, let’s move to learning about grouping values. So, a lot of times in programming there a lot of single values relate to each …

In the previous post I’ve told you how lack of jargon understanding can hold us all back from learning new things. Here I would like to explain and clarity for you those few fundamental programming concepts that you will be using all the time when you’re working on your own programming project. Ok, so let’s get …

Have you ever read, listen or watch someone talking about programming and after a few seconds realise that you’re far,far away, thinking about totally different things? It’s almost like our minds shut down when we hear something we don’t quite understand. It’s funny because, I do programming for a really long time and there are …

When you’re working on your code you will mostly work in two mental “modes”. It’s important to master both since they both have place in the practice of programming. In this video, you will learn about those two mental “modes”, how they work and why you should switch often between them.

When you’re starting to write code that actually works, it’s natural for you to want to write more code. Soon, you’re getting rush out of this creative process. In fact I love this about programming. But, sometimes in all this excitement you will be doing way too much work that is needed. Here, I’m explaining …

When I started to build software I also started to look for an advice from more experienced programmers. I wanted to learn how to build software faster and how to write robust and bug-free code. So, over the years I came across lots of programming “wisdom” from different programming cultures. And there’s one principle in …
